Lots of countries cease to exist without any extermination going on You haven't listened much to the Arabs, have you? They have been quite open about their intentions from 1948 on. Nice of you to be so cavalier about it, but I think we can both understand why the Israelis have a different attitude.

They never express it as such, but it sounds like they want the right to live wherever they choose in the land that was transformed from a multi-ethnic region into a Jewish region by Israel. Ideally, that sounds like a reasonable solution to the problem to me. 20% of Israel's population (all citizens with voting rights) are Arab Muslims. The problem you fail to mention is that neither Fatah, or Hamas wants to permit Jews to live in a Palestinian state, even as citizens. To sell land to a Jew has been a capitol offense (execution) for decades and it has not changed. It was that way when Jordan ruled the West Bank and the PA carried on that tradition. So maybe when the Palestinian government permits Jews to live on the West Bank, under Palestinian law and as Palestinian citizens with full protections, this whole problem will be solved. Hawk
